KEEPING PUPILS BUSY.

The skillful teacher will not fail to-
lay out interesting and profitable work
for primary pupils. He will fix the at
tention, and hive direction to the
abounding energy Of the young. and
thus insure rapid progress and that
good order which is only found where
each one Is busy with his own pleasant
and proper work. That teacher is most
successful whose program provides for
employment and recreation as well as
recitation.
A few years since lady called upon
o photographer for the purpose OF se-
curing likenesses of two little children.
The artist placed the older child in the
chair, and after great deal OF trouble
succeeded in getting o fair picture.
The younger child. a timid girl Of
eighteen months, was then bolstered up
in the seat, her head placed against the
iron support, and she commanded to
sit still, while the artist ARRANGED his,
camera in his own slow time. OF course
the little hands and head ,cosld move.
"Sit still,' said the artist in no very
gentle tones. This made matters still
worse. '.If that was my child I'D make
her sit still,n said he. "Ilow would
you do itp" inquired the lady. I'D do
1t or kill her. " lie replied in a passion.
The little girl was taken at once to
another artist, who succeeded at the
FIRST trial, by placing large toy kitten
where he desired her to look, and hold
ing her attention by initiating the mew-
ing Of a cat. The little eyes rested
steadily on the paper pussy, and that
was accomplished by tact which could
not be done by harsh words.
We need more teachers who can and
will show the tact. or we may say, good
sense of the last mentioned artist. One,
may stamp, and rap, and ring, and scoid.
all to 10 purpose. His school-room il q
'noisy mansion at best. Another
teacher is employed, and the same
school Is like hive OF bees. Listen
as we may, we can only hear the hum
of industry, and that is not disorder.
We may say that this teacher governs.
well. So he does. Watch him closely
and you will see that he plans work and
recreation for every little boy and every
little girl In the school; that eyes and
hands are employed.
If we sit q whole day In that school
room we will find that the teacher has
an end In view at every step. He gives
lessons not for the simple purpose OF
securing quiet; that is merely Incl
dental. The simple lessons for to-day
prepare the pupils for the more difficult.
lessons which are to come tomorrow.
There Is no hap-hazard work In that
school-room. Go home with the teacher.
In his own room the work Of each class
for the coming day. is faithfully and
hopefully planned. The teacher don't
rely on the inspiration Of the moment.
He sees the end from the beginning; I;
that hard work wins. He has great
confidence In busy hands and brains.

of division irrespective OF party are invited to
participate.
This conference invites the serious attention
OF the people OF Dakota to the fact that this
expression of the will of the people of Dakota
upon this grave and important question, will
probably be decisive In its results. IL is
though. by many well advised persons that
the next congress will seriously take up
the question OF the division and admission OF
Dakota.
A decided and unmistakable expression OF
a large majority or the people of Dakota,
whose right it Is TO decide this matter, In favor
division, will doubtless exercise strong and
immediate influence upon the action OF CON
gress.
Therefore we most respectfully cali upon
all friends of division to unite, both I'm sending
strong delegations from each county to tb.
proposed convention, and also In polling tho
largest possible vote In the county In favor o

On Saturday afternoon Of last week,
the house Of Capt. Jno. n. Grabill. on
Main street, was struck by lightning
during a shower The house was not
badly injured while the family escaped
with but a slight shock. Mrs. Grabill'
with some Of her children, and her father,
Mr.. !. NJ. Hollingsworth, were sitting in
the room INTO which the chimney that
was struck descended, but fortunately
none were hurt For few moments the
room was filed with strong sulphurous
smoke and an intensely bright electric
glare. A little child was out in the hall
at the time and as it toddled into the
room Mrs. Grabill caught it for safety. In
a few moments after she again saw the
child coming through the door from the
hall. Greatly surprised she again picked
il up and went to the crib when TO her
astonish ment she found the family dog
snuggly cuddled up in the covers. In the
excitment she had mistaken the ffighten-
ed animal for her youngest child. A por-
ton of the chimney was knocked off, the
brick being scattered around in the next
yard, barely missing Will Noakes, who
was knocked down and stunned while
passing through the yard. The electric
bolt glanced from the chimney to the roof
where it splintered several laths and tore
off the shingles for a distance of some
feet From there it followed a metal
gutter that runs down between the roofs
of the main and bodybuilding, doing no
further injury.

Senator Riddleberger left here on Mon
day for few days visit to Edinburg, re-
turning on the 1859 mail en- Wednesday
morning. During his short stay there he
assisted in bagging SO fine fish, none of
them being under twelve inches long, as
all under that size were thrown back into
the water. He was very careful to in
form us that none OF these were caught
in a seine, set-net, dip-net, &c, but every
one was landed in the good old lsaak
Walton way. 50 dear to the hearts of all
true anglers. We give all this upon the
authority of Senator Riddleberger, him
self. Our readers can exercise their own
Judgment as to the amount Of credit they
will give to this very fshy yarn. We
formed our opinion of it before he was half
through telling us. Just as soon as he
reached the 90 fish, none under IL inches
long, we thought, o, lordy what eorrup-
ton and talsehOod will follow in the
train of horse racing, horse trading and
fishing.
